He made his MLB debut with the Texas Rangers on September 30, 1983.\u00a0 He spent time in the major leagues as a backup catcher for the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds until 1991. After his playing days, he managed in the Cincinnati Reds organization for many years winning four Pioneer League Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bobbers\u2019 roster is packed with some of the best talent the Northwoods League has seen, including former Mallards Justice Bigbie, the 2019 MVP of NWL and Drew Benefield, a powerhouse hitter that hit 9 home runs in the first half of the 2019 season along with Wisconsin natives Drake Baldwin, a star as a freshman at Missouri State from Madison and Alex Binelas, a 2019 Freshman All-American from Louisville from Oak Creek.
